We just had the Defrost Timer replaced less than 90 days ago. Called the appliance company who came to diagnose ($109) and it was the same part, (a $34 part). The part was warrantied, but not the service, which was $270. I saw them install the part in July... less than 5 minutes! The company told me that they bill not by time spent on labor, but according to the "national average" for that repair. They wouldn't give me the warrantied new part without doing the labor. I checked with AppliancePartsPros.com and read reviews of how easy the job is. It's unplugging the old and plugging in the new. And APPros warranties their parts for one year. My husband did the "job" and we're back on. What a scam these appliance companies are running. Also, the 85-day old part was Made in Mexico. Our new part from APP is made in USA.

I researched the model and watched a YouTube video on the repair. I ordered the part. Two days later it arrived and I made the repair. I'm all thumbs in home repairs, but had it done in 5 minutes. My husband was surprised. Nice that I can take care of a few simple repairs around the house.
